Just a few hours ago, #JDVance was arguing to Jake Tapper that Trump was being taken out of context and misrepresented.

#Trump: When I say the enemy within the other side goes crazy. They have done very bad things, they are indeed the enemy from within

"Project 2025 manages to be more unpopular than JD Vance and Socialism combined. ...

This is entirely the result of his sad attempt to disavow this nearly 1,000-page document and the now-shuttered effort to round up sociopaths to execute the plan for a Christian nationalist monarchy that will ruin YOUR life."

🧵 #JDVance is even more dishonest than Donald Trump. The old guy lies constantly, but often he can't tell the difference between fantasy and reality. He regularly thinks he's in some other state.

Vance is a calculating deceiver who has twice admitted that he lied for political advantage.

Speaking to CNN today, Vance said that he and Trump "create stories" which are untrue, like the lies about Haitians in Springfield.

This is possibly the worst advance work I’ve ever seen

- staff wasn’t briefed and doesn’t know who he is
- staff declines to be seen on camera
- principal (JD) doesn’t know how or what to order
- dead silence between stilted questions
- no supporters included for filler

More than 1,000 veterans and military family members have signed an open letter in support of Tim #Walz, saying they're "appalled" at #Trump and #JDVance's "politically motivated attacks" accusing him of lying about his decades of military service.

"Given Donald Trump's long record of expressing disdain for service members, veterans, and their families, it's unsurprising that his running mate has stooped to such lows." https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/08/13/veterans-defend-tim-walz-military-service/74780851007/

The timing of speculation about #Iran hacking #Trump campaign makes sense if you consider that announcement from the Trump campaign to be an attempt to get in front of this story about #JDVance#SofaLoren

#Vance has changed his name so many times. Might as well do it one more time to #Vantos.

"His weirdness around women isn’t just a personal failing. It extends to actual policies that would control women’s lives and bodies. Strict abortion bans without exceptions for rape or incest. A belief that childless cat ladies are running everything. His proposal that parents with kids have more votes than those without.

These policy proposals transform the whole weirdo thing into something truly abusive and creepy."

"As Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans know, sometimes just naming something – giving folks a frame into which to put their emotions – is rocket fuel. For once, 'telling it like it is' benefits Democrats.

And let’s face it – using the adjective 'weird' to describe Republicans really is telling it like it is. Frankly, it’s hard to even catalog all of the weirdness that surrounds Trump and MAGA Republican leaders."

"That it’s working is evident in how openly Republicans hate it, the party that runs against every resident of a big city and wanted to toss out 81 million votes so a reality star could own the libs and be king — which dismisses the Democratic candidate as a 'DEI hire' — now decrying Democrats’ nasty lack of decorum."

"JD Vance Is the oppo gift that keeps on giving. It’s getting hard to keep track of all of the examples of JD Vance publicly scorning people without children over a period of years."

~ David Kurtz

Kurtz then lists a number of recent articles reporting on various times Vance has attacked people without children.
